<p>I did FASA last nov for UC's I applied for I didn't get in for fall transfer due not having all my classes for the major completed. I went CC for spring, summer and this fall but didn't apply for aid at the schools due to going 3 different colleges. I applied again for the UC's for winter transfer , I heard back from one that I am admitted. But the only aid I got was loans for 12k for FEDERAL DIRECT STAFFORD LOAN and FED DIRECT UNSUB STAFFORD LOAN. I thought I would get more, I make less then 19k a year and not a dependent. Is it normal not to get grants and just loans?</p>
<p>Boy, I sure hope not. I'm a winter/spring 09 transfer to SJSU, but I applied for aid back in March, long before I could even apply for the transfer. When did you apply for the aid? Was it before the priority deadline?</p>
<p>I applied in Jan-feb will before the deadline, since my app for fall 08 goes though spring 09.</p>
